For Twenty-Three, I Know Alot Of Things

Rating: 3.5


For twenty-three, I know a lot of things
I know that tight is never as tight as leggings
that 'we will see' always means 'No

I know that the moment you fall asleep
your teddy bear eyes snapp opened

I knew a lot of the world to understand that
it is mainly a place for the grownup's

for twenty-three, I know that happy married life
is unending sorrows start..
I know that happy moment doesnt last...

I know that sometimes you have to hide
not because you are scared
buh because you are better off being safe

for twenty-three I know life sometimes can feels
like a fist around your throat
I know that love is a raging storm that you will never be able to break from

I know that lies is the only language the world understands
I know that joy sometimes could make you cry

for twenty-three I know alot of things
I know that the moment you start to care
is the moment you start to get hurt

I know that the world is bad
yea its bad
I also know the world is a refuge
also a wonderful place be
I know that the world is everything we ever needs..

At 23 I knew the rage of the storm called Domestic Violence and I filed for a divorce at 23. Thanks for sharing your heart. And by the way, grownups don’t know everything: -)
